Seasons

I take long graceful strides
As flittering golden leaves
Pile on the knotted roots
Of spiraling husks that provide a
Diminishing shadow from the everbeating fire
That sits up high in sky's cradle
Hear the chirps of the nesting brood
As they prepare for the long cold
White snowy nights that come
After the trees' hourglass
Hits its final moments
Tiny creatures scurry back
To their holes finding warmth
With the ones they love
The final leaf litters the ground
And the sounds turn silent
Until the sitting fluffy clouds reveal
Beds of flowers bloom and
Warmth returns to the scene
Renewing the life seen before
As the cycle continues
Now and forever.

Winter

It doesn't snow here 

Sandy ground, tourist filled beaches 

Only the humid orange sun 

No freezing your piggy toes 

In calf high leather boots 

No crunch on the ice taking in your footsteps 

Then stomped off 

On that snow smitten welcome mat 

Where the trees change 

By the days of each season 

The brisk fireplace inside 

Where the logs burn 

We share this moment 

Cuddled together in silence 

With that one blanket shared 

We sipped our hot chocolate 

Burning our tongues 

But we knew we were safe and warm 

Inside our humble home 

Now that I'm warm though 

I want to spend more 

Of those cold nights 

Alongside the ones I love 

Because if I Freeze 

Ill know I'll be stuck onto you.
